Shandrack ran across the surface, the heat stinging her skin. “Crut where are you?”
“Your almost there, just a few more clicks.”
She ran forward then saw the bunker. Crut reached his arms up for her and she jumped down into it. The bunker door screeched as the awful sound rushed towards them. “hurry up.” Crut bounced waiting for the door to seal. The room grew black as it closed.
The door sealed and soon after the eerie whirring noise passed over them. An emergency light came on behind them. Three survivors huddled in fear. “What if it fails.” One of them (a young female purred).
Shandrack ran over to her and touched her furry face. “It will be okay.”
“We will have to stay down here a few days until it passes.” Crut grunted as he started looking through the supplies. “not a lot here.”
The older Gingercat scientist emerged from the bunker control booth then sat down in silence.
“Three adolescents and a geriatric… what if they find us.” Crut huffed.
“You are strong enough for the rest of us.” Shandrack snapped at his insensitive remark. Shandrak glared at the lab scientist. “If we get trapped here no one may finds us. Especially after all you people on the surface are dead. Is there another way out?”
He remained silent.

Three days had passed not a sound and the door melted closed in the incident. They were trapped unless by happenstance the homing beacon could transmit through the thick metal and past the atmosphere.
